They can be operated in all standard switching configurations including buck, boost, flyback, forward, inverting and “Cuk.” A high current, high effi- ciency switch is included on the die along with all oscilla- tor, control and protection circuitry. Integration of all functions allows the LT1170/LT1171/LT1172 to be built in a standard 5-pin TO-3 or TO-220 power package as well as the 8-pin packages (LT1172). This makes them extremely easy to use and provides “bust proof” operation similar to that obtained with 3-pin linear regulators. The LT1170/LT1171/LT1172 operate with supply volt- ages from 3V to 60V, and draw only 6mA quiescent current. They can deliver load power up to 100W with no external power devices. By utilizing current-mode switch- ing techniques, they provide excellent AC and DC load and line regulation. The LT1170/LT1171/LT1172 have many unique features not found even on the vastly more difficult to use low power control chips presently available. They use adaptive antisat switch drive to allow very wide ranging load cur- rents with no loss in efficiency.

Note 1: Minimum effective switch “on” time for the LT1170/71/72 (in currentlimit only) is ≈ 0.6µs. This limits the maximum safe input voltage during anoutput shorted condition. Buck mode and inverting mode input voltage duringan output shorted condition is limited to:

VIN (max, output shorted) = 15V +buck and inverting modeR = Inductor DC resistanceIL = 10A for LT1170, 5A for LT1171, and 2.5A for LT1172Vf = Output catch diode forward voltage at ILt = 0.6µs, f = 100kHz switching frequencyMaximum input voltage can be increased by increasing R or Vf.External current limiting such as that shown in AN19, Figure 39, willprovide protection up to the full supply voltage rating. C1 in Figure 39should be reduced to 200pF.Transformer designs will tolerate much higher input voltages becauseleakage inductance limits rate of rise of current in the switch. Thesedesigns must be evaluated individually to assure that current limit is wellcontrolled up to maximum input voltage.Boost mode designs are never protected against output shorts becausethe external catch diode and inductor connect input to output.

The LT1170/LT1171/LT1172 are current mode switchers.This means that switch duty cycle is directly controlled byswitch current rather than by output voltage. Referring tothe block diagram, the switch is turned “on” at the start ofeach oscillator cycle. It is turned “off” when switch currentreaches a predetermined level. Control of output voltage isobtained by using the output of a voltage sensing erroramplifier to set current trip level. This technique hasseveral advantages. First, it has immediate response toinput voltage variations, unlike ordinary switchers whichhave notoriously poor line transient response. Second, itreduces the 90° phase shift at midfrequencies in theenergy storage inductor. This greatly simplifies closed-loop frequency compensation under widely varying inputvoltage or output load conditions. Finally, it allows simplepulse-by-pulse current limiting to provide maximum switch

protection under output overload or short conditions. Alow dropout internal regulator provides a 2.3V supply forall internal circuitry on the LT1170/LT1171/LT1172. Thislow dropout design allows input voltage to vary from 3V to60V with virtually no change in device performance. A100kHz oscillator is the basic clock for all internal timing.It turns “on” the output switch via the logic and drivercircuitry. Special adaptive anti-sat circuitry detects onsetof saturation in the power switch and adjusts drivercurrent instantaneously to limit switch saturation. Thisminimizes driver dissipation and provides very rapid turn-off of the switch.

A 1.2V bandgap reference biases the positive input of theerror amplifier. The negative input is brought out foroutput voltage sensing. This feedback pin has a second

function; when pulled low with an external resistor, itprograms the LT1170/LT1171/LT1172 to disconnect themain error amplifier output and connects the output of theflyback amplifier to the comparator input. The LT1170/LT1171/LT1172 will then regulate the value of the flybackpulse with respect to the supply voltage.* This flybackpulse is directly proportional to output voltage in thetraditional transformer coupled flyback topology regula-tor. By regulating the amplitude of the flyback pulse, theoutput voltage can be regulated with no direct connectionbetween input and output. The output is fully floating up tothe breakdown voltage of the transformer windings. Mul-tiple floating outputs are easily obtained with additionalwindings. A special delay network inside the LT1170/LT1171/LT1172 ignores the leakage inductance spike atthe leading edge of the flyback pulse to improve outputregulation.

The error signal developed at the comparator input isbrought out externally. This pin (VC) has four differentfunctions. It is used for frequency compensation, currentlimit adjustment, soft starting, and total regulator shut-down. During normal regulator operation this pin sits at avoltage between 0.9V (low output current) and 2.0V (highoutput current). The error amplifiers are current output(gm) types, so this voltage can be externally clamped foradjusting current limit. Likewise, a capacitor coupledexternal clamp will provide soft start. Switch duty cyclegoes to zero if the VC pin is pulled to ground through adiode, placing the LT1170/LT1171/LT1172 in an idle mode.Pulling the VC pin below 0.15V causes total regulatorshutdown, with only 50µA supply current for shutdowncircuitry biasing. See AN19 for full application details.

Extra Pins on the MiniDIP and Surface Mount Packages

The 8- and 16-pin versions of the LT1172 have theemitters of the power transistor brought out separatelyfrom the ground pin. This eliminates errors due to groundpin voltage drops and allows the user to reduce switchcurrent limit 2:1 by leaving the second emitter (E2) discon-nected. The first emitter (E1) should always be connectedto the ground pin. Note that switch “on” resistance doubleswhen E2 is left open, so efficiency will suffer somewhat

when switch currents exceed 300mA. Also, note that chipdissipation will actually increase with E2 open duringnormal load operation, even though dissipation in currentlimit mode will decrease. See “Thermal Considerations”next.

Thermal Considerations When Using the MiniDIP andSW Packages

The low supply current and high switch efficiency of theLT1172 allow it to be used without a heat sink in mostapplications when the TO-220 or TO-3 package is se-lected. These packages are rated at 50°C/W and 35°C/Wrespectively. The miniDIPs, however, are rated at 100°C/Win ceramic (J) and 130°C/W in plastic (N).

Care should be taken for miniDIP applications to ensurethat the worst case input voltage and load current condi-tions do not cause excessive die temperatures. The follow-ing formulas can be used as a rough guide to calculateLT1172 power dissipation. For more details, the reader isreferred to Application Note 19 (AN19), “Efficiency Calcu-lations” section.

Average supply current (including driver current) is:

IIN ≈ 6mA + ISW(0.004 + DC/40)

ISW = switch currentDC = switch duty cycle

Switch power dissipation is given by:

PSW = (ISW)2 • (RSW)(DC)

RSW = LT1172 switch “on” resistance (1Ω maximum)

Total power dissipation is the sum of supply current timesinput voltage plus switch power:

PD(TOT) = (IIN)(VIN) + PSW

In a typical example, using a boost converter to generate12V at 0.12A from a 5V input, duty cycle is approximately60%, and switch current is about 0.65A, yielding:

IIN = 6mA + 0.65(0.004 + DC/40) = 18mA

PSW = (0.65)2 • (1Ω)(0.6) = 0.25W

PD(TOT) = (5V)(0.018A) + 0.25 = 0.34W

*See note under block diagram.

Temperature rise in a plastic miniDIP would be 130°C/Wtimes 0.34W, or approximately 44°C. The maximum am-bient temperature would be limited to 100°C (commercialtemperature limit) minus 44°C, or 56°C.

In most applications, full load current is used to calculatedie temperature. However, if overload conditions mustalso be accounted for, four approaches are possible. First,if loss of regulated output is acceptable under overloadconditions, the internal thermal limit of the LT1172 willprotect the die in most applications by shutting off switchcurrent. Thermal limit is not a tested parameter, however,and should be considered only for noncritical applicationswith temporary overloads. A second approach is to use thelarger TO-220 (T) or TO-3 (K) package which, even withouta heat sink, may limit die temperatures to safe levels underoverload conditions. In critical situations, heat sinking ofthese packages is required; especially if overload condi-tions must be tolerated for extended periods of time.

The third approach for lower current applications is toleave the second switch emitter (miniDIP only) open. Thisincreases switch “on” resistance by 2:1, but reducesswitch current limit by 2:1 also, resulting in a net 2:1reduction in I2R switch dissipation under current limitconditions.

The fourth approach is to clamp the VC pin to a voltage lessthan its internal clamp level of 2V. The LT1172 switchcurrent limit is zero at approximately 1V on the VC pin and2A at 2V on the VC pin. Peak switch current can beexternally clamped between these two levels with a diode.See AN19 for details.

LT1170/LT1171/LT1172 Synchronizing

The LT1170/LT1171/LT1172 can be externally synchro-nized in the frequency range of 120kHz to 160kHz. This isaccomplished as shown in the accompanying figures.Synchronizing occurs when the VC pin is pulled to groundwith an external transistor. To avoid disturbing the DCcharacteristics of the internal error amplifier, the width ofthe synchronizing pulse should be under 0.3µs. C2 setsthe pulse width at ≅ 0.2µs. The effect of a synchronizingpulse on the LT1170/LT1171/LT1172 amplifier offset canbe calculated from:

KT = 26mV at 25°C qtS = pulse widthfS = pulse frequencyIC = VC source current (≈200µA)VC = operating VC voltage (1V to 2V)R3 = resistor used to set mid-frequency “zero” in frequency compensation network.

With tS = 0.2µs, fS = 150kHz, VC = 1.5V, and R3 = 2k, offsetvoltage shift is ≈3.8mV. This is not particularly bother-some, but note that high offsets could result if R3 werereduced to a much lower value. Also, the synchronizingtransistor must sink higher currents with low values of R3,so larger drives may have to be used. The transistor mustbe capable of pulling the VC pin to within 200mV of groundto ensure synchronizing.
